I don't know how people make it in this world without Jesus. I guess they depend on crutches - usually things like drugs and alcohol. They just get high to avoid thinking about it. There are so many distractions - we're bombarded with constant media - television and radio blaring non-stop. There's no time to even think until night time, when so many cannot sleep.
God is not some 'pie in the sky' ready to judge at a moment's notice. And He's not some wimp like Jesus is often portrayed. God is a spirit, so He sent His son Jesus - God with skin. He willingly died on the cross for the sins of the world. YOU'RE part is to agree with God that you sinned, because we all do. And to accept His gift of taking your punishment for you. And to then obey Him and walk with Him.
He never forces you to do anything. He has given man free will - you are free to follow Him or not. But if you do, then He will not only save you from an eternity of hell after death, but will send His comforter, the Holy Ghost, to help you in this life. He will not only be your savior, but wants to be your best friend. Jesus says this in His word. He doesn't promise that life will be easy, but He promises to be with you and help you. "And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." He is still relevant in 2010! And He will set you free!
